    The tour starts at the Knappenhaus in Unterlaussa - over the Mooshöhe you ride along a little-trafficked road to Weißwasser. Then it continues into the central Reichraminger Hintergebirge to the national park Weißwasser bivouac site, where horse and rider can take a comfortable break. Along the Waldbahnstraße, which runs along the railway track of the former Waldbahn, the path goes through several rock tunnels - past the Schleierfall to the managed Klaushütte. Here a stop with catering is possible. After a rest, you ride further following the forest road - past the Große Klause - after about 500 meters the path turns left over the Rabenbach bridge and leads further over a forest road directly up to the Werfneralm Hut. Overnight stay only with prior reservation. RESERVATION with Traudi Gösweiner, Moar im Hof, mobile +43 664 44 25 263

    Author’s recommendation

    • Please do not forget to save the tour "offline" before you start (top right), as mobile reception in the forest wilderness of the national park is not always available.
    • MUST SEE! The Virtual Weißwasser Adventure Trail lies directly on the Hintergebirgs bike path between the junction to the Weißwasser bivouac site and the junction to the Hirschkogel saddle. Here, the mountain worker settlement in Weißwasser, carved in the 1960s and historically significant today, is made virtually visible & experienceable using augmented reality. Please download the Android app on your smartphone before visiting the adventure trail. There is no internet connection on site! Google Play: Download Weißwasser AR (iOS app available soon)

    Safety information

    Using the riding trails is at your own risk. Scenic features (mountains, valleys, rocks, gorges…) are natural hazards and require allowances in time planning.

     

    Riding rules:

    - Horseback riding is permitted in the national park from April 15 to October 31 - on other riding paths year-round - from two hours after sunrise until one hour before sunset.

    - Ride only on marked routes! Riding is a special nature experience. Wild animals do not run away from the rider. They consider him a peculiar kind of animal. However, horses can be unpredictable when encountering animals, hikers, and cyclists. That is why riding in the national park is only possible on marked riding trails!

    - Always reliably close all pasture gates.

    - Many riding routes are also marked as bike paths. Always expect oncoming cyclists or motor vehicles.

    - Some routes are long and the terrain partly steep. Please do not overestimate yourself and your horse and do not forget sufficient provisions.

    - Please understand that adherence to usage instructions and possession of a valid day or annual sticker will be checked.
